Idaho announces it won’t enforce or follow new executive orders on gun control

Idaho has recently stood up amid the outcry against new gun laws set in place, and is announcing its outright refusal to comply. From truthandaction.org

Just last Friday, Idaho announced that it would neither enforce nor abide by federal gun laws. The move was made possible by a measure introduced in the state’s House and Senate and passed unanimously by both chambers.

 

The law could very well be one of the most serious challenges to the federal government’s anti-gun agenda. Per the wording of the bill, Idaho law enforcement officers would face up to $1,000 in fines as well as misdemeanor charges if they enforce federal gun laws. These punitive measures will likely go a long way in discouraging Idaho LEO’s from collaborating with feds trying to enforce gun laws in the state.

 

Naturally, the federal government, to say nothing of this virulently anti-gun administration, is not going to be happy about a state rejecting it’s statutes regarding gun ownership and usage. Indeed, after a similar law was passed in Kansas, former Attorney General Eric Holder, a true maven of the gun control lobby, wrote a letter to Governor Brownback threatening legal action against the state over it.

 

As previously alluded to, Idaho is not the only state to have passed legislation prohibiting law enforcement officials from enforcing gun laws originating in Washington, D.C. In addition to Kansas, Alaska has passed a law meant to preserve SecondAmendment rights and as many as 37 other states have introduced similar measures in their legislatures. If they all follow theexamples of Idaho, Kansas, and Alaska, the feds are really going to have to ask themselves if enforcing their gun laws is really worth it.

This is exactly what is necessary to fight the unconstitutional changes going through to law. President Obama’s executive orders are outright infringements cloak tuck 3.0and they should not be enforced or obeyed.

Obama and future presidents can pass all the unconstitutional laws they want, but this does not mean our police are going to enforce them or our people are going to follow them. Way to go Ida-HO!

Now more states need to stand up and follow their lead.

    Being a displaced Idahoan now living in liberal Oregon (because of Multnomah County which includes Portland which has more population than the entire rest of Oregon and is as liberal as San Francisc!) I am seriously considering moving back. If they would just figure out how to get rid of sage brush, wind and low humidity!

      North Idaho has it figured out David, there’s fresh pines and lakes for humidity and best of all? Low winds and no sage brush! Though truth be told the smell of rain, fresh dirt and sage brush is eventually missed after leaving…
